February 4: F-bombs, Trump-talk and a revelation! Kristen Stewart caught some attention while hosting <i>Saturday Night Live</i>, which she joked was to promote her film <i>Twilight</i>.
"I'm a little nervous to be hosting because I know that the President's probably watching, and I don't think he likes me that much," Kristen said in her opening monologue. "Here's how I know: Four years ago, I was dating this guy named Rob - Robert [Pattinson] - and we broke up and then we got back together and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane..." The popular actress then read a slew of tweets that Donald shared back in 2012, saying he tweeted about her a total of 11 times.
"I think he's in love with my boyfriend because he also tweeted this - 'Miss Universe 2012 Pageant will be airing live on @nbc & @Telemundo december 19th. Open invite stands for Robert Pattinson.'"
Kristen later went on to be more publicly honest about her sexuality than she has ever been, saying: "The president is not a huge fan of me, but that is so OK, and Donald, if you didn't like me then, you're really probably not going to like me now, 'cause I'm hosting SNL and I'm, like, sooo gay, dude."
Toward the end of the monologue, she accidentally dropped the f-word. "Well, I'll never be back!" she quipped after, an embarrassed smile spread across her face.
